More on “Can horses get ear mites”

Ear mites are host specific and not found on species other than cats, dogs and sometimes rabbits. Cats are likely to get infected more often as compared to dogs. Horses can at times mislead you by developing signs and symptoms very nearly similar to that of ear mites. The causative agent of these signs is variable. Ear ticks infections are more common in horses and they also develop inflammation and irritation in the ear. The ears get red and itchy and develop exudates which plug the ears. Ear ticks are usually mistaken for ear mites which are completely different species.

Sometimes ear mites can spread from pets to horses in a farm environment. But even if horses get invaded by ear mites they cannot survive and multiply there. If your horse is having any kind of ear problems the best thing is to consult a veterinarian who will perform detailed diagnostic test to confirm the type of parasites.
